Abstract
- We report on the possible detection of UV microvariability in the continuum of the seyfert galaxy Fairall 9, as well as a positive detection of microvariability in the MG II line based on data obtained with the International Ultraviolet Explorer Satellite. In addition, we report a detection of optical microvariability in AKN 120. We argue, based on the results from the NGC 5548 monitoring campaign, which showed the optical and UV continuum variability highly correlated, with nearly 0 lag, that this is evidence that this source also displays UV continuum microvariability.
